Man arrested after altercation at San Angelo apartment complex

SAN ANGELO, Texas - An unidentified man was arrested after a physical altercation with his son Saturday afternoon.

At 3:04 p.m., San Angelo Police responded to a domestic violence call at the Bellagio Apartments on the 2500 block of Sweetbriar Drive, said Lt. Mike Hernandez, spokesman for the SAPD.

The argument escalated into a fight, Hernandez said, and a weapon was involved.

Police later identified the two men involved as father and son. The son was transported to Community Medical Center for injuries that were not life-threatening, Hernandez said, and officers arrested the father.

Onessa Freasier, a witness and resident the complex, said her brother had gone outside to smoke when he noticed two men in a verbal altercation.

“He heard a lot of yelling and at some point there was a gunshot,” she said via email. “The two men came back outside, one of then brandishing a weapon.”

It was then that her brother called 911, Freasier said. After officers arrived, she said, she saw them strapping one of the men to a gurney.

SAPD Detective Lynn Dye is investigating the incident.

The identities of the men have not been released as the case is still under investigation, Hernandez said.
